Great for Small Business Inventory Tracking

Mar 8, 2017

Melissa - Moonshadow Gemstones

I have been looking for an app to suit my needs to keep track of my jewelry inventory for my business. I manage all aspects of my business and keeping track of inventory can be time consuming. This app is extremely easy to use, priced well and has all functions I need without being too cumbersome. I have requested some add ons from the developer and he has always been extremely swift in responses and willing to add some functions to the app for me to use the program the best for my business. I have more ideas for future releases and he’s always encouraged me to offer suggestions. Definitely would recommend this program!!!!

I bought this application to catalog my artwork and being able to quickly find specific categories. This is a very useful application to generate a file with images and descriptions of your own and other artwork. The file is searchable with a limited number of search terms. I originally tested a number of options, including sorting types etc. When I started having problrms with the search option, Mr. Walk was very helpful in describing how it should work. After reinstalling the application and restarting my computer the search is now working as expected. I am giving thw Arthandler only 4 stars, since additional search options would be useful.

Afordible way to organize art!

Love this app. I am not a collector, I am an artist. This is a great way to organize and catalog my work. Some of the fields are better suited to a collector but I just use them for other purposes. I love that the feilds are searchable and that images can be dragged and dropped. Well worth the 12.99.

2/17/15 They just added fields to handle price, location (what gallery the piece is at) and weather or not it is sold. Now this app does everything I need. THANK YOU.
